"Indeed!" said the deacon's wife. I j
I knew by that she hadn't heard a word j
we lmd been saying.
" Why, yes," I repeated, a good deal ?
- -^discouraged, for I saw I must begin ^
again at the beginning?"she is more T
..than 100 years old and entirely destitute. ^
Yet she did not complain of anything j
but the cold. She was formerly a slave 0
in Kentucky,but somehow strayed away a
up hero, and now lias outlived every- e
b'edy that has ever belonged to her. I \
rl could manage to get her in the colored e
woman's home 1 or the rest of her life, I ^
should be glad. But as she isn't a resident
of the city, it will be necessary to
vn?t? hor Virtaiv) A HaIIov q jtppIt ATra
lioyt thinks it is." P
"Certainly, that would be the best
- thing to be done," replied Mrs. Deacon,
" waking up a little. "Still, I don't know t
what we can do until we have called a '
meeting of the society." ^
T'.sat was much likelier! If the vestry ^
was on tire, she would have stopped to fall
a meeting of the society before she 5
would have ventured to throw on a dipper
of water. ?
" But the poor creature is freezing and
starving," said I, impatiently. "Can't 41
you, as president of the society,empower V
1 me to give her at least one- of those j!
woolen sacks we have on hand?"' ?
" I don't know but I might t^o as Jar j
us that, though I suppose it isn't exactly ?
;n order." returned the deacon's wife, \
leaning back in her chair, and smooth- 1
ing the table cover between her thumb
andjtinger. .
She seemed to be meditating, so I ^
waited for a minute, and then she said,
??hrnnH v ,
" What do vou think of Mr. Brodhead i,
Bella?" * t
"There! I shouldn't wonder if he t.
would give us something!1' I exclaimed, v
going down on my knees in my heartfto <;
the deacon's wile for my injustice. "He ?
is a man of means, and a generous man, 1
I've always heard.1" s
The deacon's wife looked puzzled. T
" Oh, your old colored woman!" said a
{ lie, directly. " I wasn't thinking
s-.houthcr; I was thinking of you. Mr. t]
. Brodhead has a very high opinion of f(
you. Bella. Did you know it S1
"What you mean, Mrs. ~n 1 - ?
ford ?" said I, as surprised as though the 0*
man in the moon had winked at me, for j)
inv friends all knew how T d^teofo^ cnr>h _
talk. And. besides, I never considered
Mrs. Shackelford that sort of a woman.
. Her attention was usually centered in u
the sewing society and her flower gar- _
'* den. * r
But for once some other idea had _
. taken possession of her mind, and, as
her thoughts always ran in grooves, she ^
never could harbor more than one at a
. - 'time. __ ?
" Mi\ Brodhead is a nice man, and a
fine-looking man," she said, looking at "
' me sharply. 44 A man of means, and a j.
generous m:.n, as you say."
' I suppose so," I replied, gathering .
my shawl about me. "
*-4 Oh, don't you go yet, Bella.cr your
waiting to see you, and I consid The
dropr.iug in quite providential.l was a
<!eacon and I were talking of calling on ^
you this very evening," said the deacon's 11
wife, putting out her hand to keep me ^
froei rising; 41 and, when I saw your *
. blue shawl turning in at the gate, I said h
to myself: 'That's as marked a token as
Jitebecca at the well, with the pitcher on a.
her shoulder.' I haven't the gold ear- s'
rings and bracelets to oflcr yen. but I ^
have all the rest," she added, laughing b
" r.ervously. ,
Just now the deacon csmc in. Now
there is, in the opinion of his wife, but u
e-pjc reason why Deacon Shackelford **
"didn't make the world. He found it already
made. And when he came in, J1
the looked up to him as though Atlas tv
hnd come, and she could safely drop the
va OIIWU4UV1 gv oa
ng golden apples. S1
" I was just speaking a good word for P
Mr. Brcdhead to Bella, deacon," said ?!
she. u
"Ah! and what does Bella say?" re- ^
turned the deacon, looking as though it ?'
were a question of investing in real ?
estate, or the price of gold.
"Beila doesn't say anything," I re- S!
plied. "Certainly not before she is a'
asked."
" You need not wait long, if that is a
all." an3wrred Deacon Shackelford.
"I'll ask .vou now. Have you any ob- 1
ction to an offer of marriage from Mr. n
Brodhead? There!"
" He is a very bashful man, Mr. Brod- J*'
head is, Bella, and so he got U3 to help p
him a little. Why, he is in love with J.1
you." interposed Mrs. Deacon Shsckel- "
ford?i4 he is in love with yuu down to n
Lis boot?." v
" Let it run out of lm toes, then," a
aid I, beginning to feel like new ?'
* : " yeast.
" But you can't have anything against Cl
the man," persisted Mrs. Deacon. "And n
think! a.'ter a while you won't have ,
our grandfather and your Aunt Susan- d
sail to talk to, and you will jriss it if ?
yno don't have somebody in their place, J*
t is best to think of these thing*. And "
you won't tind a kinder man, if you ?
search the world over with a wax can- ,
die, than Mr. Brodhead." "
"Mr. Brodhean well encuvh, Mrs.
Shackelford. I don't deny that. But
t'ne idea of making a proposal of this 91
sort through 'middle-men!' It is too 11
absurd!" I sajd, laughing, nnd put on 9*
my hat. y"
So 1 went home to my class 3 in em- ,!
broidery, and drawing, and wax-work i ^
-r to making A Susannah's caps atd j*
grandfather's coffec. M ifey was full j1'
of monotonous work in those days, and
iome'imesl had a strange, uncomfortnOle
impression of a machine wound up di
nnd running without any act of its own. S(J
I'.very evening when I was putting the m
things away after supper, and feeling the
great noise of the wheels mnn> thnn it
u<ual, us though the machine needed !,J
oiling, the front gate slammed, and steps in
c:tme along up the walk. st:
" I knowed some one was coming dfI
've knowcd s.ll day some one was talk- in
? ingof comin?,'' said Gitty Pullen, who,
* to accommodate," as sheoiten told us, sh
]jad kindly consented to rule over our
kitchen and us with a rod of pine in the su
form of a crutch.
As Gittj- liad no home, no money, and re
only one foot of her own, but as good as
four ears and two tongues, it might seem so
sometimes that the accommodation was
two-sided. Jiowever, things are not bl
what they seem. an
"I knowed it was Mr. Corliss!" pur- th
s-ucd Gitty, triumphantly, ai? grand- wi
father opened the door and disclosed the
figures of our minister and his wife. " I to
oan tell his step us far off as I can hear Ea
it. Did you ever notice his eyes?" she th
continued. " They look like two holes on
burned in a blanket. And he holds his to
head just like Deacon Shackelford's old si(
white horse."
And then she disappeared in the mi
kitchen with her crutch and the cat, da
while Aunt Susannah put in her teeth. *''
put on her black silk a^ron, and wtnt it <
with her meeting step into the parlor.
When I followed her,soon after, t found
her talking in as steady a flow the
fas*' waters ca:? e down at I^odore to Mrs. do
Corliss, who sat by the woodb ine win- in1
(low, with hands folded in her black net- is
ted mit:s ar-ioss her Jap, and lur tea- ah
colcrtd < urls shaking their hep.ds, as it kn
were, at the world and its vanities; th
while grandfather, who had been senior tu
deacon for fifty year-, and who had no ro
idea even the et urch edifice cou'd stand th
without him, was already in deep dis- un
cession with Mr. Corjiss upon the tjues- cri
lion, then absoibing and disturbing us, of
as to whetherourSabbath-schoolshould of
hereafter be called a Sunday-school. a i
411 can never consent to have a religus
organization known by a heathen
ime," grandfather was saying, as I
fid heard him say half a hundred times
?fore.
So there was nothing for me to do but
?sit and smile and listen; for granditherand
Aunt Susannah were not the
srsons to yie?d tne uoor wuen it was
ice theirs by priority.
" Mr. Corliss, is it not time for us to
i?" s:iid Mrs. Corliss, at early starising,
with her measured dignity.
"Certainly, my dear," replied Mr.
orliss. rising at once, with his head
;ill bent to catch grandfather's last sendee.
" Bella, put on on your hat and walk
at with us a little way. It is a charralg
evening," said Mrs. Corliss, turning
> me after taking a ceremonious leave
f Aunt Susannah.
Of course I went for my hat. I
liculd^ as soon think of insisting on
reathing in an exhausted receiver <is of
efusing to follow a suggestion of Mrs.
!orli>s\ Or so I supposed then. But I
rembled in my heart, and began to run
vcr in my mind all my little over;ones
and under-dones She had such
, Lady Superior way tV;t, though I
eally loved our minister's vife. I airays
felt a sense of guilt, ai..i r.tver at
iome with her.
But it seemed it was not that I had
teen late at church or absent from the
ewingsociety this time. Neither had I
, bow too many or a bow too few on my
Junday bonnit. Worse, though; Mr
Jrodhcad had been to her.
" My dear," she began, as sweet and
s cold and as stiG as a dish of frozen
ustard. " I want to have a serious talk
pith you 011 a serious subject, and pcrlaps
I misbt as well say at once, Mr.
hodhead lias solicited the good offices
f Mr. Corliss and myself between you
nd himself, lie seems to be a very
arnest admirer, but a very diflldent one.
Vliat should you say to the idea ol
ntertaininga proposal of marriage from
im?"
"I couldn't think of such a thing for
moment, Mrs. Corliss. I have no exectation
or wish ever to marry any
me," said >, feeling very much annoyed.
Mrs. Corliss sighed severely. " Mariage
is a divinely-appointed instituion,"
saui slie, " and not to be lightly
et aside without due consideration and
rayer. You are not now prepared to
ive a final answer to so important a
latter. It comes upon you suddenly,
'ake time, my doar friend, to think it
ver carefully, prayerfully, and with a
iew to what is your duty."
Mip. Corliss shut her lips tight, as
bough to keep her teeth in, and tlien
;issed me good-night?a soft, clammy
;iss. which made me feci as though I
ranted alun'p of sugar. Accordingly,
went in the house and ate one, and
bought r.o more about Mr. Broadhead
oramoidli and a day.
At the end of that time Aunt Kent
.sked me to o down and do up her caps.
Lunt Kent was a dear, good old lady,
ruo lived in a little yellow and white
ottage at the en 3 of the graveyard, where
er husband and seven children were
ying in one pathetic row, under the
ieds of heart's-ease and forget-me-nots, i
5ut when they went she adopted all the J
rorld into her warm, motherly heart,
lo, though she lived alone, witli a little
ream-colored greyhound, she had a
arge family, and whoever was sick, 01
orry, or needy, went to her, ns well as
whoever wished for sympathy in health
nd gladness.
Dear Aunt Keat! When I went in,
here she was knitting a checked sock
jr young Mrs. Cable's first baby, with
uch a look of peaceful repose on her
ice that one would be willing to go
ver the same weary path of suffering,
: it should lead at last into such a land
f rest.
"I don't know when I felt sorrier,"
iid she,when I was settled at my work
y her s'.de, "thenldidfor somebody
?ho came to me last week in a love afair.
lie is a man of whose love any
roruan might be proud, but he is so full

ito my mind, and my heart rew harder

au maae such a goose 01 nimseii.
Aunt Kent opened her eyes in mild
?tonishment, and then I remembered
tie named somebody. Then I stopped
uddc-nly and felt my cheeks begin to
urn.
"Dear child," she said, tenderly,
when you have scon a few more of the
ps and downs of life, you will think

?en him sit at church with his eye3

uttered a little in the wind, and looked
3 hungry and so hopeless, my heart just
died for him."
This time my face flushed with anger
3 well as shame.
411 feel humiliated, Aunt Kent," said
. "1 hope nobody else has seen liira
aake such a silly spectacle of himself.",
"Beila. my dear, jou arc wrong," inJrpose;!
Aunt Kent, gently. "We must

avc m:; Ui them. The man is cast in a
elicate, sensitive mold, and this is
early or <; ::te a matterof life and death
rith hiu.. I doubt if you are loved
gain by so worthy a man, i?nd I am
are will not be any more sincerely. I
ope you wifl not be so misguided as to
Lirow away such a treasure, only for a
amantic notion."
I could not laugh at Aunt Kent's tener
earnestness, but I shook my head
nd felt immovable from the bump of
rmness down to my boot soles. And
ius ended the third lesson.
Weeks after this, one day in the
dawning of the year," when the bees
ummed and the lilacs bloomed, I went
it to dig blood-root where the road ran
irough a bit of woodland, a little north
: the village. Because if we didn't need
, somebody might, and Aunt Susannah
msidered a few roots and hoi jS "so
indy to have in the house." Presently
felt an unconscious, magnetic drawg
to look up, and there stood M>\
rod head. To this day I cannot tell
3W he came there. It was as though
:! had shot up like a held lily, ri<rht out
' the ground, arid he stood with his eyes
ropped shyly as a girl's and his handime
lips trembling. I pitied him alost
as much as Aunt Kent had done.
" It will kill me if I don't speak, aud
sviil kill me if I do, and you don't
>tea," said he, throwing out his words
jerks, like water running from a
raight necked bottle, and looking.^ud:nly
at me with such pathetic feeling
his great brown eyes that I began to
elabaehcd. For what was I that he
ou'd he so stirred by me?
lou couldn't cure :iny ior me, i
tpposep-'said Mr, Brodhead, humbly.
" Perhaps I might, I don't know,'11
plied, almost involuntarily.
"Dear me!' But a love story sounds
different when a man tells it himself.
And so, presently, it wa3 I who tremed
and cast down my eyes and blushed;
d it was Mr- Brodheud who looked as
ouch he was master of the whole
orld and the stars besides.
Aunt Susannah, waiting behind the
Dodbine window, thought I was
thering herbs to stock a pharmacy, for
e sun hud dropped behind the cedars
l the top of Mount Margaret when i
ent home with Mr. Broditead by my (
le, my hands empty,but my heart full. 1
Yes, we are engaged, and are to be

Fashion IVotcs.
Smoothly-fitting eowns are in higher
favor than ever. They arc too becoming
to be willingly dropped by any
wom:tn who has a good figure.
Handsome pineapple silk neckerchiefs
have tiny peacock's feathers embroidered
on the ends, the pluuage being
delicately copied in line shaded llos3e3.
Hoods are now attached to house
dresses this winter. They will be lined
with silk matching the dress facings,
and the cord which fastens it about the
waist.
Some of the very rich new brocades
are in four or live bi:ght colors. They
are worn over satin skirts trimmed with
plaitings that repeat all the tints in their
pattern.
Italian aprons, made of linen or silk
with bands of Smyrna insertion and
edging, and Greek aprons of black satin
or Surali silk, richly embroidered, are
all the rage.
Very large collars are placed in little
girls' coats this autumn. They are
made of piush and with a cord terminating
in spikes constitute the whole of
the trimming.
Tiny plaited flounces of silk, pressed
iu such a way that they ruffle them
' - 1- _ 1. _
selves in a way tnat is meant 10 db duwitching,
cover the plain satin and velvet
skirts this season.
An ulster of gray waterproof satin is
the latest garment that has teen designed
for rainy days. The time of
wearing only dingy colors in rain or
snow seems to be passing away.
There is no doubt that casquins of
of velvet brocade will continue to be
worn in the winter; always over skirts
of different material. Brightly-colored
casiimere and Japanese mixed material
are also considered in good taste.
The proper gown for a bride's mother
to wear at the wedding ceremony is of
lavender, lilac, mauve, or pearl color.
The bride's best gown, after her wedding
costume, is of satin brocade
wrought in gold.
Jet fringes will be U3ed in almost incredible
quantities on some of the silk
gowns to be shown at the next openings.
Not only wili the fronts be covercd
with overlapping rows of fringe, but the
same style ol trimming will appear on
the sleeve.
The overdresses of embroidered cloth
which were imported a lew years ago
were not very successful, but those
wmcu nave corud 101* mis winter win
probably sell well. They are embroidered
in jet and silk, and their cost is not
very great considering their elegance.
The corsages of new dresses are made
with as few seams as possible, and are
therefore of the simplest shapes. The
short side forms of the back are used
almost without exception, though some
modistes still prefer having two side
forms in the way introduced by Worth
several years ago.
Among the liberties taken by fashion
is the introduction of hooks and eyes
for the outside of dresses in place of buttons.
The hooks are about an inch in
length, of various styles and designs.
Some are brilliantly enameled on metal,
others are steel cut in glittering facets,
gay iridescent steel, steel and jet.
Shirred satin fronts or plastrons the
whole length of the dresses are the
marked.feature of the satin and velvet
princesse dresses imported for very
small girls. They come in pale blue,
rose, lavender and cream colors, and
have the deep collar of plush or of
shirred satin edg d with white embroidery.
Gold beads mixed with chenille nrc
used in patterns on the cro <vn of bonnets.
and in lace that surrounds the
[ crown or edge3 the brim. There are
I also leaf trimmings made of pendent
strands of chenille tipped with tinsel or
with gold beads; these have the effect
of fringe, and are very handsome in
amber and golden shades.
A drapery of jet is the novel trimming
for the small beaded lace bonnets that
will be worn through the fall and early
winter. This is com cosed of a net scarf
more than an eighth of a yard wide,
richly wrought with fine jet beads in
patterns of sprigs or leaves, and finished
in the scalloped lace-like cages witu a
narrow fringe of the beads.
The checked mouchoir3 are imported
in heavy English homespun, and will be
much used for traveling and shopping
dresses, accompanied by a small turban
of the checked clotii, with a gay wing
for its trimming. These are made very
simply, and consist of a kilt skirt with
the borders at the bottom, a short
wrinkled apron overskirt, and a belted
basque.
Plush is used for collars and cuffs of
misses1 jackets, and for the small walking
coats worn by. cnildren of two or
three years of nge. The large collar of
walking coats when made of plush becomes
an elbow cape, and i3 half as
long ns the coat itself. This is very
prettily shown o^ garnet ca3hmere coats
with plush cjipe3 and spiked tassels, or
on those of heliotrope cloth.
Among 'coming novelties reported by
Harper's Bazar are lozenge or egg-shaped
patterns in dark velvets. The figurc-s
are large?at least an inch long?and are
UlUUli XliUiU t'UtXLlVU UIUII Lliu JJl/iXvadotted
goods worn at present. The
ground, of the same shade, is basket
woven satin and is nearly concealed by
the velvet lozenges. This is shown in
prune, bronze and myrtle shades for
costumes.
What They Siii.J.
A gentleman lately took down verbatim
the conversation of two fash ionable
ladies during a morning call, viz.:
"How do you do, dear ?" 44 Pretty well,
thank you." (They kiss.) " How have
you been thi3 age?" "Pivt-ty well.
How have you been?" '"Very well,
thank you." ' Pleasant to-day." "Yes,
very bright; but had a shower yesterday."
"All your family quite well?'
"Quite well, th inks1. How is yours ?"
"Oh, very well, thank you." "Have
vou seen Mary B. Jately ?" "No, but
I have seen Susan C." "You don't say
so J Is she quite well?" "Yes, very
well, I believe." " Must you go P"
"Ye3, indeed; I have seven calls to
make." " Do call again soon." "Thank
you; but you don't come near me once
in an age." " Oh, you shouldn't sny so,
dear; I'm sure I'm very good." " Goodbye."
" Good-bye, dear."
Children's Rails.
A prominent feature anionic entertainments
in Paris are children's parties.
The decorations and toilets are made as
prominent features and as elaborate as
among older society followers. At one
of the children' balls was a child of
eleven decked in thousands of dollars'
worth of diamonds, una :i toilet of luce
worth $000, with :i gossamer Jan
mounted in turquoise and pearls.
Where all should bo joy, life and light
in this youthful crowd, there are t ie
same rivalries, heart-burnings and envious
leelings that embitter and spoil
the pleusuie of older hearts.
Supremacy of the IiresNinuker.
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, in he. lecture
on " Modern Society," strongly portrays
the supremacy of the dressmaker
of to-day. "The fashionable women
say to her: ' Do how you will with me.
Make me modest or immodest. Tie up
my feet or str.tight.cn luy arms, till the
U3e of them becomes impossible. Deprive
my figure of all the drapery, or
npholster it like a window frame. Nay,
it me in the middle of a movable tent,
but arrav me so people will .ook at me
nnd say I look well.'"
Women in England.
The'London Truth says: I see that at
Exeter a farmer was sent to jail for
i month for shooting a rabbit on his own
'arm. The same magistrates, however,
Felt that a line ol five shillings was a
mflicient puni.-liment for a man condieted
of brutally .assaulting his wife.
Should any ot these worthies be married
[ hope their vivos will properly appreciate
the f ict that rabbits are rabbits,
ffhiie wives are only wives.

Know My Boy Bill ?
As the overland express was snorting
through Almeda yesterday on its way
to New Yoik the engineer suddenly
whistled down brakes, the conductor
frantically shouted and jerked the signal
line, and witli many a jar ann squeait
the long line of cars was brought to a
stop.
The cause of this sudden "fetch up"
was a fat old lady with a red face and n
green parasol, who had planted herself
squarely in Iront of the engine, and was
making the most frantic "signals for it
to pause.
" What's the master; anything on the
track?" asked the engineer, excitedly.
" Nothing but me," said the old lady,
stiilly.
" Has there been asmashup? Is there
?there a draw bridge open?"
" Don't poke fun at me, young man; I
wans to seethe proprietor."
"The what?"
"The man who runs this thing?the
captain?or whatever you call him."
" What do you want with the conductor?1'
" None of your business. 1 want to
see the head man?the boss?ar.d to

The Earth's Population.
T.. n..
ill liiti ut;w issue %j2 ucum ??i/?ner's
well-known "Bevolkerung der
Erde" there are several points of fresh
interest. Since the hist issue, about two
years ago, the population would seem to
have been increased by about 17,000,000,
the present population of the earth,
according to Belim and Wagner, being
1,450,000,000, as against 1,439,000,000 two
years ago. This, however, cannot be
set down to absolute national increase,
much of the addition being, no doubt,
the result of new and more accurate
statistics. The new issue has, for
example, to take account of several new
censuses, some of them in countries
where the population has not been
accurately counted for many years, if at
all. The total population is divided
nmong the continents as follows:
Europe, 315,920,000, or at the ratio of
32.5 per square kilometer; Asia,
OO A 7AT AAA 1 Q *1 no** oniinlrl lnmotflr
Africa, 205,679,000, or 6 9 per square
kilometer; America, 95,495,500, or 2.5
per square kilometer; Australia and
Polynesia, 4,031,000, or 0.4 square
kilometer; the remainder, 82,000, belong
to the North Polar region, mostly Iceland
and Greenland. Although the
census of the United States has been
taken some months since, and a few of
the data oozed out in an irregular
fashion, Herren Behmand Wagner have
not made any use of the results, wisely
preferring to await oflicial statistics.
They calculate that the census ought to
give a result of at Ie:ist 47,000,000. The
editors have also made a fresh planimetrical
calculation of the area of
Africa, yielding a result of 29,283,390
square kilometers. Of this area about
six and a third millions are forest and
culture land, the same area savannahs
and scattered woods, 1,500,000 bush, I
4/200,01)0 steppe and 10,500.000 desert.
This last item seems appalling, but it
should be remembered that much of the j
desert may be reclaimable, and that it
incluae3 large areas of fertile oases. A
new planimetrb calculation of the area
of South America, yields a result of
17,732,128 square kilometers, differing
greatly from the sum of the official
areas given by the South American j
governments.?Pall Ifall Gazette.
An Eccentric Monarch,
. The most eccentric European sovereign
is Kine Ludwig II., of Bavaria.
Recently he celebrated, or rather there
was celebrated for him, his birth, and
the seven hundredth anniversary of his
dynasty, the Wittelsbachian. The king
did not show himself in his capital on
that occasion. lie caused a letter to be
written, thanking his people for their
congratulations, and asking them not to
go to any great expense on his account.
When he was young he would dress in
tlie general bunting costume 01 the
country, appear among the dancers on
the village green, make love to the
village beauties, and, after a day or two
disappear. Ho has several small
chateaux among the mountains, from
which such excursions were made. lie
was eager to join the imperial confederation,
knowing that it would relieve him
of most of his royal responsibility. Always
a friend of artists and actors and
actresses he began very early in his reign
to add to the galaxy of Munich beauties
whose portraits adorn his palaces. No
longer bored with military matters, the
reception of ambassadors and the signing
of dispatches on foreign relations,
he devotea himself entirelv to art, and
erected the "Winter Garden," which
is the great mystery and wonder of
Munich. Ilis opera-house i3 the most
perfectly arranged in Germany, and
when he visits it he visits it alone; none
of the public are admitted. One day he
ordered "King Lear" to be played. The
acting pleased him, and he bestowed
numerous orders upon the actors, but
the stage machinery, he said, was detective."
There was thunder and lightning
but no rain. He called the manager
to the royal box, and ordered that
tlie water in the huce cistern on the
roof should at the next representation
of " Lear" be allowed to fall through a
large sieve on to the stage. The next
occasion was again private and strictly
royal, and when it thundered and the
I lightning flashed, the king shouted /or

Washington a? an Athlete.
General Wilson relates an account of
a conversation with Mr. Custis, from
which he obtained some interesting personal
reminiscences of Washington.
During a visit at Arlington House, Virginia,
in 1854, the writer asked Mr. Custis
if Washington could, like Marshall
Saxe, break a horseshoe, and received
for a reply that he had no doubt he could
had he tried, for his hands were the
largest and most powerful he had ever
seen. Mr Custis then gave several instances
of the general's strength, of
which I recall the following: When
Washington wa3 a young man he was
present on one occasion, as looker-on. at
wrestling games, then the fashion in
Virginia. Tired of the sport, he had retired
to the shade of a tree, where he sat
perusing a pamphlet, till challenged to
a bout by the hero of the day, and the
st ongest wrestler in the State.
Washington declined till taunted with
the remark that he feared to try conclusions
with the gladiator, calmly came
forward, and without removing his coat,
grappled with 1'is antagonist. There
was a fierce struggle for a brief space of
time, when the champion w;is hurled
tb the ground with such tremendous
force as to jar the very marrow in his
bones. Another instance of his prodigious
power was his throwing the stone |
across the Rapnahanuock at Fredericks- i
burg, a feat that ha3 never been per- i
formed since.
Later in life a number of young gen- !
tlemen wer<j contending at Mount '
Vernon in throwing the" bar. Washington,
after (looking on for some '
time, walked forward, saying, "Ailow ,
me to try,7'and grasping the bar, sent ,
the iion flying through the air twenty (
feet beyond its former limits. Still <
later in his career, Washington, l
whose age, like a lusty winter, " frosty
yet kindly," observed three of his work- '
men at Mount Vernon vainly endeavor- 1
ing to raise a large stone, when, tired of ,
witnessing their unsuccessful attempts, ,
he put them aside, and taking it in his
iron-like grasp", lifted it to its place,
remounted his horse androde on.

Wolf nnd Shepherd?A Fable.
i Once upon a time a wolf observed a

hard in charge and it determined to
have a dinner of mutton. While skulk;
ing along toward its victim the wolf fell
: over a cliff and was badly injured The
shepherd heard its yelis of pain and
" came running up to dispatch the animal
\ with a club.
I "Hold on! Hold on! I want to
. argue this case!" cried the wolf.
" But you are a philosopher and I am
only a shepherd," was the reply.
"It was your lamb who pushed me
over this cliff." said the brazen wolf as
' lie sat up; and by the use of big words,
' wise looks and arguments based on
, " ifs," he convinced the shepherd that it
t was his duty to take him home and hea]
| his injuries.
When the wolf was able to walk he
i demanded a lt>mb as compensation foi
I his bodily suffering and loss of time,
The shepherd demurred, hut the woll
quoted an old law by which any person
1 harboring a wolf should be fined and
; imprisoned, and he declared that he
would go before the nearest official and
make complaint. This brought the
slionherd to time, and the wolf had
lamb for dinner. To get rid of him the
! peasant reduced his fare to black bread
and water, but the wolf ate what waj
; given him and explained:
! "I shall not pain strength and be able
i to leave you until I have better food."
The peasant tlien changed his fare to
the best, and the wolf ate his full anc
J observed:
! " As long as you can afford such fare
you cannot grumble at my staying."
In a few days he demanded a fullfjrown
sheep to soften the pangs of parting,
and when the shepherd complainec
. the wolf cried out:
i " Why, I am workiug for your inter
est, not mine. The less sheep you hav(
to mind the less care you will have."

i The Art of Not Hearing.
When the telephone was first intro

not fail to remark that Mr. Edison was
on the wrong track; what people needec
i was not a machine enabling them t<
I hear things far off, but something tha
would help them not to hear tiling:
' close by. The saying had more se nse n

, livious to the rattle of his tormentor';

, But, though no machine has yet beer

. Ttie power ot the will in this respect is
k astonishing. Another good effect c;
having a judiciously deaf ear is thai
; when people find you do not hear whal
i they say, they soon become tired of talk
ing. Many a quarrel would be saved ii
s the one to whom a hasty, cross word is
I spoken did not hear it. Somethings
1 are better ignored than noticed. The
' art of not seeing is as valuable as that ol
hearing, and bath should be taught and
practiced in every well-regulated family.
It is a great thing in a teacher or parent,
or in anybody wno has to do with children,
to know when not to see and hear
things. Breaches of discipline are sometime's
venial, and a wise man sometimes
will not observe that there has been any
breach.
Some people possess these arts to perfection.
A well-bred man or woman
never hears a vulgar or ill-natured remark,
even when made to him personally,
unless it is so made that he cannot
avoid noticing it. What a happy gift it
would be if every pastor could be enwit'll
lliiq fnp.iilt.v. Ppnnlfi t.lion
would not talk scandal to him, knowing
that he never heard anything of the
tort. They would spare him those illnatured
criticisms that now occasionally
vex his foul, and that flattery which is
more pleasant, but also more dangerous.
Our advice is, cultivate the art of not
hearing things. It is a more valuable
thing than the "cultivated ear" on
which so many pride themselves.?

She Kept the Secret.
Apropos the Tarrytown-Andre centennial
celebration a New York paper tells
the following story, which shows that a
woman could keep a secret one hundred
years ago.
Mrs- S^e, an old woman living on the
Bedford road, about two miles from the
Tarrylown depot, tells a picturesque
tale of succceding events as it was told
by the participants. Mrs. See, familiarly
kno-.vn as " Aunt Betsy," says
fl>nf r* *,ortn r*f 4 4 ftlz ???OVQ 1' Willi fllOir
prisoner wont directly to"AIug Tavern,"
near White Plains?a hostelry presided
over by A tint Polly Heed. Strange to
3ay?considering her sex?Aunt Polly
Wii3 notorious for her curiosity and inability
to keep a secrct. While ham
and eggs were sizzling in the pan for the
hungry "Skinners," Aunt Polly w:is
struggling to ascertain the identity of
the melancholy youna: stranger, who
waB so handsomely clothed in a blue
overcoat, claret-colored coat, and nankeen
waistcoat and breeches. Finally
Paulding seized her by the wrist and
drew her close to him.
" Can you ke p a secret?"
" Yes," stammered the old woman
with hardly suppressed eagerness.
We've got a British spy."
In three minutes the old woman had
intrusted household cares to her girl,
saddled her white horse, and wag galj
loping to the next house, in a place then
called "Twitchinsrs." But the fences
and brush prov< d an obstacle, and Aunt
Polly was forced to make a long detour
by the road. The "Skinucrs" finished
their meai and departed, making a
straight cut across the country toward
"Twitchings." Ai they approached
the house they caught sight of Aunt
Polly living up the road on her white
horse, daylight showing between herself
and the saddle at every leap. Her
hair streamed out behind. In one hand
she swung her huge poke bonnet by the
strings, while she shrieked in a shrill,
quavering voice: ' They've got.the spy! |
They've got the spy!" ' 1
Over-Exertion.
Long-continued exertion without 1
proper intervals of rest is followed by a "
peculiar sensation of fatigue, and often c
by tremor or cramp. Fatigue is due, in
part, to the failure of contractile material,
and an accumulation of waste- j
products, in the muscles, but, in the a
main to exhaustion of the nervc*cen- T
tcrs that supply stimulus to contraction. n
Both tremor and cramp are probably j
caused by excessive muscular irritabil- s
ity, the former being due to short, a
irregular explosions or muscular force,
the latter being a prolonged contraction
of the muscle.
When over-exertion is ^confined to a 1
small group of muscles, these, instead (
of becoming enlarged and strengthened, i
as is the case when exertion and rest '
are duly interchanged, suffer chronic
exhaustion, which shows itself in a j
species of paralysis?as in the palsy or ;
cramp, severally peculiar to writers, i
telegraphers, type-setters, violinists, '
pianists, tailors, milkers, and men of '
various trades whose work is mainly '
with the hammer.
It is computed that the pen-blade
fnrop.r. if industrious and disposed to
do lull work, delivers nearly 29,000 accurate
strokes a day, and in ten years
over 88,000,000, each stroke involving
expenditure of nerve-force, both in the
nerves of the brain which calculate the
distance and amount of force necessary,
and the nerves of the muscles engaged
in the act.
Another result of over-exertion is
irritability of the heart, similarly due
to exhaustion of nerve-force. The heart
may become dilated, so that valves?one
i or more?cease fully to close the openings,
or the valves become thickened
and incapable of ready and compkte action.
The elastic tissue of the great
arteries leading out of the heart may be
weakened by over-distention, and the i
walls may, during some strong effort, i
so far give way as to torn1, a pouch, or 1
even to stretch out into a fatal aneur- '
ism. 1
This irritability of heart gives rise to
, palpitation, cardiac pain and rapid
pulse.
i It is estimated that thirty-eight per
cent, ot cases of this affection among
; our soldiers during tne late civn war
i were due to long and rapid marches, or
to other forms of over-exertion. Pro.
fessional pedestrians nre proverbially
sbort-livea. Mountain-climbers, and
i persons who carvy gymnastic or athletic
exercises to excess, and especially
laborers whose work is severe, and who
also suffer from intemperance, foul air
! and improper diet, are peculiarly liable
i to heart disease.?Youth's Companion.

[ A Lady In the Matter.
' That "woman's wit is often superior
to man's wisdom," was convincingly
! proved in a circumstance that occurred
in this city recently. It appears^ that
1 Mr. Ludwig Schwarzler, a widelyI
known Grocer on Station Road, suffered
with a very painful rheumatic headache
to such a degree, that he was obliged to
kopV t-.hp n.5ri of a nhvsician. All modi
cines he used were of no avail. This
induced Mrs. Schwarzler to buy Sc.
1 Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle for
her husband. With the second appli
cation he found relief. The pain left
! him, and he is as well as ever again. A
remtdy acting as promptly as this cer?
tainly deserves univeis.il patronage.
' " Be you good?" asked a bright little
chap ot Miss Bud, his Sabbath-school
: teacher, the other day, "Oh, no," was
1 the becomingly reply. " You ain't?
Well, I knew you wasn't pretty, but I
' al vays thought you was good."

1 Mr. John G. Fledderman, the weil.
r known Merchant Tailor.in Union Block,
writes: "I was a sufl'erer lor many
years with Neuralgia and Rheumatism,
and found no relief until I tried St.
Jacobs Oil. After using two bottles
i * was entirely cured."
